Geez-Corrections Officers start out at 45K and goes to 90K REGARDLESS of security level. I was also floored to learn that C/Os in other states aren't exposed to CS gas and OC spray unless they are in Special Ops. We are getting SCREWED-lol.
If you are curious about the field, there's a cool group on Myspace that I am on called Law enforcement, Cops,Police, Sheriff, and Corrections. It makes for some interesting reading.

My sister-in-law is pulling down about 50k a year as a new deputy sheriff in Fairfax right here in good old Va.
We're just cheap labor around here and business knows it.

I don't think it'd be much of a switch to go to Ireland. Those prisons over there are hell holes, extremely violent, and that's not even dealing with the IRA sections that are incarcerated.

Hell, I put up with that now for about 26K. Seriously though, alas I cannot leave this area (at least until my kids are grown). If I could though...

$50K per year in Fairfax isn't exactly the same as $50K in Wise County. Granted a person can live on it, but not the same as a person can live on $50K here.
At $50K you get a monthly bring-home of maybe $2800 tops (if you don't pay insurance premiums or participate in retirement plans).
In Fairfax County a 1 bedroom 700 sq ft apartment in a decent neighborhood often runs about $1200+ a month(can search this at apartments.com).
You'll shoot your eye out.

$50K a year in Wise Co. is very good money.
She lives in Manassas Park and is buying a townhouse. Payments are rather substantial but she is still doing very, very well.
Already taken two nice vacations and seems to have plenty of disposable cash.

I don't even know, but I have always wondered what disposal cash felt, and smelled like. Do you think she could let me achieve that goal Gotch? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I think they've got you beat. Constant riots, inmate killings, guard killings on a frequent basis.
